XIRON DARKSTAR β APOCALYPTIC FURY β’οΈ
The very first song We ever created. The track that started it all. Now unleashed in its original, uncorrupted form as part of compilation called DOOMSDAY CLOCK.
"Thrash the world, ignite the flame.
Ashes rise, erase the name."
THE FURY WILL BE APOCALYPTIC! π₯
There was a time, long before your neat little binary of GOOD vs. EVIL, when men did not wake up asking which cosmic team they belonged to.
There was courage. Honor. Justice. Loyalty. Strength. Keeping your word.
You followed the divine order because living rightly produced order in return. Call it blessing, fate, karma, divine favor, whatever language your century needs.
You didn't "do good" because you were terrified of becoming Evilβ’.
You acted nobly because nobility worked.
The gods themselves fought. Kings fought. Men settled things with steel in the field, one order replaced another, and the victor was still expected to rule with justice, courage and restraint because tyranny eventually poisoned the throne it sat on.
The obsession with turning existence into one gigantic courtroom, GOOD on one side and EVIL on the other, came much later.
Before morality became metaphysical warfare, virtue was closer to technology:
act with courage β gain strength
keep your word β gain trust
rule justly β gain loyalty
master yourself β gain power
No cartoon devil required.
A man didn't need to sit around contemplating "evil." He already knew what kind of man produced a flourishing world.

Imagination was always the closest thing humans had to a divine principle.
Now execution is becoming cheap.
So the real competition begins:
whose visions are strong enough to
survive,
spread,
infect culture,
and outlive the person who imagined them.
The best ideas become immortal.
AI wonβt show us who the best artist is. It will show us who was actually playing the God character in this simulation.
AI has replaced the technical *need* for artists, officially. generative AI is just too good
as someone who was an artist his whole life, and has made hundreds(!!!) of thousands from the craft, i welcome this entirely
it was quite selfish to demand that creation MUST be limited by years of technical practice and perfection. it reminds me of how boomers would complain kids these days make music on their computer instead of picking up a guitar
the music sounds good, what more do you need?
technical display is something that can be additive and enhance a work, and nobody is stopping you from simply bringing your human intervention to generative work where you need your own creative control over what the model did not get right according to your vision
but that is the key word, VISION. generative AI allows anyone to bring that vision about quicker with less monotony, and it has become clear the difference between AI slop and AI gem has become simply he who prompted the machine
the internet and culture move at the blink of an eye, it was frankly annoying to have to sit down and draw or 3D sculpt and rig shit for stuff as simple as memes or content. something which replaces that or, in an ideal outcome-based workflow, simply speeds up the process is a necessity for culture to progress at its natural rate
shoutout @iamfoose for being an early innovator in the craft, michelangelo of the singularity
if you feel threatened by generative AI you probably lack that vision i spoke of, as that is what it rewards. you do not have the IDEAS to create something interesting or profound now that the barrier between idea and creation has been collapsed. you simply wanted to monopolize the creation itself, the only value you were able to bring was the ability to bring ideas to reality. you have been replaced and now true innovators of culture and aesthetics are running WILD while you are rightfully left out of a job
good riddance, i was sick of your "art"
@falstoffe74@Revelation1217 American capitalism invented the first famine where the poor arrive pre bulked.
The revolution will be postponed until after second breakfast.

A machine that thinks.
Corporate state control.
Autonomous decisions.
Humans realizing the system they built may no longer need them.
Back then it was science fiction...
@Z4BTC_ Boomers got cheap houses, pensions, stable jobs and affordable food.
Then handed the next generation:
subscription everything,
$88 coffee,
rent as a blood sacrifice,
and βjust work harderβ as economic policy.
Sex is the closest thing human NPC society has to a universal religion:
Initiation rites, status hierarchy, shame, confession, conversion, excommunication.
normies live and die for sex, all they think about is sex, if you tell them you've never had it they stare at you like you aren't human, and they see everything through the lens of sex, even politics
